I have given into the urge to wear purple stuff to match my hair.
And when you find a gorgeously soft and majorly flattering dress like this one? You snap it up!

Isn't it a smashing dress? I love the gentle ruching on the side, the perfect just-past-the-knee length, the longer sleeve and the fabulously rich colour. It's also 95% viscose (5% lycra) which means it's super soft to wear. I did wear a bright red vintage slip under this, which I flashed at some of my WW ladies, tee hee.

Vizzini got into L's shoe closet this morning - I keep my runners in there for walking to and from work, and he managed to hook the laces out (they are intact, thanks for asking). He is also adept at pulling our closet doors open, so this one has been added to our masking tape routine. All of the closets in our other hallway are taped shut. He hasn't figured out how to open my closet door, thank goodness! I had to reassure L today that yes, I had retaped the door and yes, his Fluevog collection was safe.
The stuff:
I'm shocked that I haven't worn these shoes since September! I love them - they were amazing to run around the office in. Must wear them more.
Silver bling:
I liked the pop of turquoise against the purple.

L and I are going out for dinner tomorrow night for an early Valentine's Day - wishing you all lots of love. Be kind to yourself, and share the love. See you on Sunday for the weekend wrap-up!
Hope you have a lovely Valentine's dinner Sheila! :)
ReplyDeleteThat purple dress is awesome on you - and not just because it matches your hair. I really like the statement necklace with it :)
Red under purple? Yes please!
ReplyDeletePeople say ankle straps cut your leg off visually, but I think they are super elegant.
Have a lovely weekend.

Yay for the purple dress! I do love purple with turquoise and also with green. I just finished knitting a purple cardigan a week ago and used hand painted green and blue buttons on it.
ReplyDeleteThat cat! He so smart, he's going to start leaving you notes soon. Love this gorgeous purple dress, xox

Beautiful dress indeed - and I wish you could have "flashed us" with the red slip. Just a bit :)

Yes indeed, this is a perfect dress. Unbelievable for that price. And the shoes are great. You probably haven't worn them for a while because you are spoiled for choice heh heh, grin.
ReplyDeleteThat cat of yours is smething else. What a smart animal.

You look fabulous in purple - but why couldn't you flash your vintage red slip at us as well as your WW group?!
ReplyDeleteOne of my cats can hook the fridge door open, we have to keep a chair in front of it!
Hope you enjoyed your meal out. Xxx
That is a lovely dress, and I like the chunky shoes with it. Glad that L's collection of Fluevogs is safe from the curious claws of Vizzini. With a shoe collection such as you two have, I'm surprised you don't padlock the closet doors!
